I usually cut my own hair with 2 or 3 whacks because I don't want to take the time to stop. Now if I want to go to the only barbershop I will use, I have to make an appointment. They do a great job on a woman's hair too. I haven't even wanted to try to cut my hair myself since this all started. I'm wearing a big long ponytail and it helps hold my homemade mask in place. With a little bow sooo...no haircut for me yet.So, I went to get a haircut this morning.
I was taking my wife to a fancy place for lunch since it was her birthday and I looked like an extra from some old Western movie.
It had been a long time since I'd gotten a hair cut and sadly 3 of the 4 places I go to here in town have shut down over COVID-19. As in no furniture inside, gone.
The 4th spot was still there. An elderly Jamaican barber with an astoundingly great memory. He immediately said "#3 with a beard trim!" Like I was just there last week.
Finding a classic scissors cut barber shop is nearly impossible here. But this guy does wonders with electric clippers and a razor! So much care and detail...
I tipped him so well, I imagine he'll remember me for next time as well.
The shops are devastated.
Businesses everywhere are closed that I hadn't noticed.
Whatever next stimulus plan that is to come is already just way too late.
